Photo class

As I mentioned a few days ago, I’ve been taking a basic camera operation course at one of the local community colleges. I had taken some rather pathetic photos while working through all the exercises (depth of field, shutter speed, light) but all of it came together last weekend during a photo shoot.

Below are several photos selected from the lot. (Click on the thumbnail to pop open a bigger image.) I’d appreciate comments, especially which one you like and why. (Leap day update: I added names under the photos.)

You were in my ‘hood!! Did you at least wave? And you did a fine job. (And, I’m sorry, but those firefighters are just screaming for captions and/or holiday costumes… Periodically, they do get adornment but not enough. I’m going over today and ask them if they really do read Debby…)

Glad you liked the hairy arm girl story. I don’t talk about it often for obvious reasons, but it was fun to write about.

As to your pics, I know precious little about photography, but I know what I like. So, I’ll just tell you that I like the way the light touches the cobblestone in “train two”, and for some strange reason, when I look at that same photo, I can almost smell burning fuel.

My favorites are: Red Train for the shadows and antiquity, the Yellow train for the contrast of colors and the pine trees to the right (could almost smell Washington again!), Silver head dude (great expression – makes you smile!), and last, but definitely not least, the peanut grouping. I too like this one of all the food groups becuase of the depth of the picture and the variety of colors. The pecans almost compares but makes the nuts almost look sickly. I’m very impressed with your work especially for a newbie!
